A Conversation With Nigella Lawson
Q: What's your cooking style?
A: To put it politely, my cooking style is informal; less kindly, it might often be called messy. I would characterize it as spontaneous. I think if a chef saw me at work he or she would wince in agony. I have no knife skills, little dexterity and no technique. But I am passionate about food and would prefer it to taste good than to look impressive!
